'Scrubs' -- Best musical episode in TV history (Jeff Commings, Remote Controlled)
Did you do what I told you to do last night? Did you record Liev Schreiber’s debut on “CSI” and watch the “Scrubs” musical? (This song might be NSFW)
What fun to hear the actors sing beautifully (though I suspect Neil Flynn, the janitor, had his voiced dubbed a la Natalie Wood in “West Side Story”).

For those who hate musicals but love the show and decided to stay away, I feel for you. For those who love musicals but hate the show, I feel even worse. The episode mocked all musical theater conventions, from the ensemble opening number to the riff on “Les Miserables” and “Grease,” this show did everything right. Maybe they’ll show it in reruns this summer. You can only hope.
I fall into the first camp.
Unfortunately, I didn't fully escape, as Callie is watching the DVRed version as I type this. Thankfully, I have a pretty good ability to tune out obnoxious noise -- and if that fails, well, I can always break out the Beyerdynamics.

It wasn't that bad. It actually made me laugh. But...I don't have a problem with musicals. :)
Hey, you're the one who got me hooked on the show to begin with!!

You guys watch Scrubs too? We just got hooked on it about three months ago through a recommendation from Drew. I now rank it as highly as The Office on list of sitcom favorites

I had never watched it until I was home sick a few months ago, and I've been DVRing old episodes like crazy since then. How did I miss the show for so long?

Huh. My wife and I had the same pattern as both of y'all -- we just started watching it rigorously a few months ago.
On the post, I also fall into the first camp, but it was quite amusing, even for those of us who loathe musicals. A musical-style song about poo is kinda humorous.
